When we think about natural glow, people usually prefer home remedies and organic ingredients. We are about to share some tips and tricks and home remedies for naturally glowing skin.

How to Get Glowing Skin for Men Naturally?

There are many ways in which you can get glowing skin naturally for men. Here are just a few:

1. Cleanse

Cleaning and washing is always the first step. In the same way cleansing the face is the first key step to getting glowing and clear skin. Men have more active glands than women and produce more sebum. Pollution and dirt can add to this and create a lot of skin issues. To get rid of acne, itch and dryness you need to cleanse your face twice daily. Not just washing after waking up and before bed and if during the day, your skin produces excess oil then you should wash at that time as well. In the current time we have started using natural oils and natural products to cleanse our face.

2. Exfoliate

Exfoliating unclogs pores and prevents acne and even ingrown hair post shaving. This helps in removing dead skin and makes the skin clean, fresh and healthy. If you have just started exfoliating then using a scrub once a week is a good start. As your skin reacts to exfoliators, you can either increase or decrease the number of times you exfoliate your face during the week.

You can use any scrub like sugar or coffee depending on your skin issue. Mix ingredients like honey and sugar in equal parts and scrub away. Using a scrub once or twice a week will keep your skin away from acne and pimples. 

3. Moisturize

Moisturizing is important no matter what the weather. Cleansers and exfoliators strip the skin of the natural oils so you need to replenish the skin with a moisturizer. It will hydrate your skin and even provide a protective film from pollution and dirt. 

4.Sunscreen

Don’t just use sunscreen in the summer. Use it whenever you are going out during the day. You might know this but UVA and UVB rays are bad for your skin. 

5. Having a Proper Skincare Routine

All skin types are different and having a personalized skincare routine is important. You must select all cleansers and moisturizers that suit your skin type and the ones that are made of natural ingredients and do not harm your skin. Men have larger pores than women and using a good toner to close these pores is extremely important. Use a face pack once or maybe twice a week to give your skin the nourishment it needs as homemade facepacks keep your skin healthy and glowing without stripping the natural oils. Having a night time routine is equally important to having a day routine. Cleanse, tone and moisturize your face before bed. Products for a night skin care routine are different to those used in the morning. 

6. Hydration

You must hear the role water plays in your overall health. To achieve clear and glowing skin you need to always stay hydrated, as it flushes out all the toxins from the skin. Adequate amount of water will also maintain your skin’s moisture and keep it soft and supple. Dehydration on the other hand causes wrinkles and many other skin disorders. 

7. Smoking and Alcohol Consumption

Smoking makes the skin age prematurely. Skin conditions like psoriasis and even acne can worsen due to smoking. Alcohol dehydrates the body and also affects hormones that can cause acne and even age the skin.

8. Exercise

Exercising enhances skin and protects skin from aging and many of the other damages. It promotes collagen and increases blood flow in the skin.

9.Sleeping Pattern

A proper sleep pattern is very important for healthy skin. As you sleep, your skin repairs itself which is why you will notice that when you wake up in the morning your skin is much more clear and glowing. It increases blood flow and builds new skin cells. If you don’t get enough sleep, the healing process of your skin is interrupted and this increases dark circles, blemishes and triggers glands to produce more oil. 

11. Excess Sugar 

Sugar consumption increases insulin level and this increases skin inflammation. This worsens other skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Not only sugar but dairy products also add to an increase in skin inflammation.

12. Stress

Intense stress levels can impact the skin leading to irritation and breakouts. Managing stress levels can reduce levels of cortisol and adrenaline as well as address hormone fluctuations that reduce oil production. Therefore, reducing stress can lead to fresh, clean, and glowing skin.

13. Shaving Regularly

With proper skin care you also need a shaving routine because that will make your skin clean and clear. Shaving gels and creams keep the skin soft and maintain the natural moisture. If you cleanse before shaving, it opens the pores and proves a cleaner and more finer shave.

Home Remedies

There are several home remedies that you can try to get glowing skin at home and all are by using natural ingredients present in your kitchen. Try these home remedies to get glowing skin naturally.

1. Honey and Lemon Cleanser

You might have noticed a lot of cleansers in the market contain lemon and that is because lemon is a natural cleanser. While lemon keeps your skin fresh, honey hydrates and moisturizes the skin. If you mix both of these ingredients in equal amounts, you will have a natural face cleanser at home.

2. Coffee and Honey Scrub

Want a natural and easy face scrub at home. Mix coffee and honey with a little bit of olive oil and this will help remove dead skin cells and will also make your skin softer and smoother.

3. Neem, Almond, Sandalwood, and Turmeric Face Pack

Grind neem leaves with almond extract, turmeric and sandalwood powder with a bit of honey or olive oil or curd. Keep it on for 20 minutes and wash it off once it is dry. This face pack will not only cleanse the pores but also hydrates the skin at the same time.

4. Orange Juice and Turmeric Paste

Vitamin C helps in lightening the skin and evening out complexion. Add a pinch of turmeric to orange juice and create a paste, apply it for 20 minutes and wash it with normal water. Both turmeric and orange juice will help in curbing acne, hyperpigmentation and will also improve the overall texture of the skin.

5. Papaya Mask

We all know how papaya can make the skin healthy and green papaya is even more fruitful. The enzyme in papaya acts as a natural exfoliator. Peel and blend the papaya into a smooth paste and apply to the face. Let it dry and wash with lukewarm water.
